    In the US airlines at least, most lately let you angle them like a ball-in-socket joint. They aren’t too “customizable” but you can generally point them and adjust how open they are. Older planes are less adjustable however.

      Super long haul in the US or from the US? My long hauls have all been 10+ hours and none had “personal” air nozzles.

        Both. Maybe I’m not describing it right, but the air nozzles in most larger aircraft have been slightly adjustable for a long time. They are typically like a ball in joint socket you can point anywhere in its cone of motion, and that you can twist to open or close. This has been standard on flights for a really long time.

        Newer flights have nicer versions of it, but some form of directional air nozzle has been around for a long time.
